Sowjetische Batterien sind nicht unkaputtbar, hier mal alle sechs, die im Radio steckten:

Reading a book about the Home Front in WWII*, I spotted an ad for a product I used as a child in the '90s.
By then, the rollers were slightly concave in the middle from decades of laundry passing through. Did the job, though.

@luci sure someone can supply you with a source of suitable battery. Anyone? #buttonCell #battery Or someone tell you how to hack it. #RetroComputing #oldtechnology

We were all Fashionistas in the 1970s, Baby, and don't you forget it!

We've all got #digital televisions now, with little micro #circuits and #computer #chips.

And we all used to have #analog #televisions, with #picture tubes and fuses.

And #TIL what came before that:

I suppose an introduction is in order. Better make one before I forget...

I'm Ferrus, your local queer goat! 🐐

I'm a #pansexual, #agender, and #aromantic of the #autistic #furry variety! My presentation is primarily feminine, though I incorporate some masculine or neutral pieces when the mood strikes me.

I was born and raised in #newzealand, though you wouldn't know that from my accent, a weird american-british-kiwi hybrid.

My Hobbies/Special Interests include but are not limited to: #linux, #anime, #vidogames, #tabletop, #books, #movies, #tv, #space, #fantasy, #sciencefiction, #oldtechnology, #lego, and #sustainablefashion

My favourite pieces of media are: #Warhammer40K, #TheExpanse, #StarTrek, #StarBlazers, #Tensura, #DungeonsAndDragons, #Pathfinder, #WorldofDarkness, #Stargate, and the #nasuverse

I may occasionally toot about these

Currently looking for education in some kind of Systems Administration Role, and run #NixOS on a daily basis. I also build my own machines.

My toots and boosts may occasionally be #NSFW. DNI with these unless you are of legal age.

Feel free to DM me, unless you're a #troll, #bigot, or anything else of the sort.

Offenders will find themselves fed to an Elder Wyrm (the mute/block button)

Another old technology I love: the fountain pen!

Did anyone else own a #Filofax back in the day? I just shredded the contents of mine; it was fully of so many memories from a long, long time ago. I kinda miss the simplicity of those days. #OldFart #OldTechnology

You don't see one of these very often.

It sounded like he said the astronaut landed on mescalin.

Anyway. #thinkaboutthis @alexskolnick

There isn't a popular #MedicalScience focused on people who had #brainDamage, experienced a #recovery, and experience #IQ on overdrive.

It's noticeable if you haven't had that for a while. Like realizing there's no longer pain, after taking #glucosamine for a while. That-- at least-- is remarkable.

Why is there #nothing on TV but #politics #racism and the #wealthy #rich #wealth #exhibitionists

I put this #SpaceScience channel on. That's good. What else can I learn? Did you ever notice that? There is nothing about how to #solider or test #amperage
Why?
That's is #oldtechnology
What year is the advent of the #transistor? @AceArsenault

In retrospect, I noticed it when I was young but more interested in #guitar #wizardry than whatever they were doing on #FullHouse

Makes sense now, in #perspective
No wonder I never watched TV.
#epiphany

I want to write more about that, but I have other things to do. There's simply not enough #time

Who else did their degree with the help of a TI-57 programmable calculator?

This whole spam issue here at Mastodon is giving me Yahoo Messenger vibes from the 2000s.
